G. Willow Wilson

"In a small solar system in a far-flung galaxy, two women--one a young religious acolyte and the other a hard-bitten freighter pilot --uncover a conspiracy between the leaders of the most dominant religion and an all-consuming mega-corporation. On the run from reprisals on both sides, this unlikely pair must decide where their loyalties lie--and risk plunging the world into anarchy if they reveal the truth"--

The inevitable plot twist was obvious from the get go. The Technicolor palette that seems to be the extreme backlash against the grim dark style of the 1990s-2000s is becoming a bit of a cliche.

The explosive aftermath of their shocking discovery has pushed captain Grix and acolyte Vess to the furthest reaches of their solar system. Once unknowing pawns of an ubiquitous religion and pervasive mega-corporation, the now-renegade team is alone after revealing to the world that these "enemy" groups are in cahoots--but not for long. And when their crew encounters a group of ruthless spacefaring privateers, they might not be safe for long either. Volume two of the sweeping sci-fi saga is beautifully crafted by Hugo Award winner G. Willow Wilson (Wonder Woman, Ms. Marvel, acclaimed novelist of The Bird King and Alif the Unseen), and realized through the bold and singular art of Eisner winner Christian Ward (Black Bolt).

** spoiler alert **
           After the first volume's breakneck pace, I understand the need to a breather volume but damn, this one is glacial. If we stall them in space while the bigger threats are gathering, maybe we can up the sexual tension between characters?

No. I don't care enough about any of the Sundog's crew or the None they picked up. With the scavenger plot feeling like Firefly fanfic, the sexual tension here reads like Shepherd Book suddenly getting the hots for Mal Reynolds.

The artwork is beautiful so it's worth reading just to enjoy how beautiful the comic is. The story felt a little chaotic and rushed but I think it has a lot of potential.

Invisible Kingdom has a lot of great things going for it. It is a fast-paced narrative that happens to be quite relevant with wisdom and mind-bending visuals about a novice nun (none) and space courier for a major corporation discovering a conspiracy between the dominant religion and the all-powerful mega corporation. When they do, they become prey in a desperate interstellar chase in order to suppress the truth.

The story line is pretty great, is often humorous, and has moments of wisdom. Christian Wards art is mostly wonderful, full of vivid and popping color work although some of the action scenes of quite busy.

If you love action-oriented, space capers - you'll love this. Check it out.
